    199 x 97 minute episodes

    Mystery Science Theater 3000 was a long-standing cult-TV favourite from the mind of Joel Hodgson.

    In the not-too-distant future, Joel Robinson (Hodgson) and his robots (Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, Gypsy and Cambot) are trapped in space aboard the Satellite of Love, where mad scientists Dr Clayton Forrester (Jack Beaulieu) and TV’s Frank (Frank Conniff) force them to sit through the worst movies ever made.

    Joel not only introduced the movies as a kind of host, but he interacted with them along with Crow and Servo.

    mst3k_2The Satellite of Love set was made entirely of toys that the show’s creators bought at a goodwill store and all the robots were made from common household items.

    Items on the interior walls include a toy Millennium Falcon from Star Wars (1977), a Darth Vader action figure holder, a plastic reindeer cut in half and glued over the door, plastic toy trumpets, silverware trays, cake pans, and bowling pins.

    Over the years, there were many cast changes on MST3K and all the original cast members from the first season were gone the by the show’s tenth and final season.
